Hair transition is a very important process for women who want to assume their natural hair. This transition period is always finished with the big chop, the big cut!
And if you’re thinking or going through the hair transition, you may have heard about the CBB. And here we’ll tell you all the details of this great moment, take a look.
What’s big chop?
Big chop or BC is an English term that can be translated as the “big cut”. This cut is considered a very special moment for women who have faced the hair transition, where they have removed the straightened part of the strands, releasing the natural strand!
What’s the ideal time to make big chop?
There’s no ideal time to make the big chop. The good thing is to make the cut when the natural hair is at a length that makes you feel comfortable. Some women choose to shave their heads and enjoy all the stages of natural hair growth, while others prefer to wait for their hair to grow a little. So, don’t be afraid or in a hurry, only perform BC when you are comfortable and confident!
